The cheeseman Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Good evening! I've been reading Sanderson books for a while now, and decided it was time to join this community, where I can ask questions and theorize about the wonders of the Cosmere! I have only read a few Sanderson novels; Stormlight 1-4, Edgedancer, and Mistborn: TFE. Obviously I need to finish Mistborn Era 1, but what should I read next? Elantris? Warbreaker? Life before Death, Radiant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life before Death, Radiant Awesome, welcome to the shard! I would reccomend reading Warbreaker next,(aside from being one of my personal favorites) it also has some fairly important crossovers in stormlight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that Wit has capital-b Breaths, so I looked those up and found out there's a bunch of people from Nalthis on Roshar. So I may have spoiled some of Warbreaker for myself. Spoiler Tangent: since Nightblood chipped an Honorblade, what would happen if Szeth crossed swords with a Shardbearer/Knight Radiant? I'm assuming Nightblood would kill the spren permanently.

I'm assuming Nightblood would kill the spren permanently. This is an excellent question, and would be more eloquently stated by a more knowledgeable cosmere fan. Spoiler but I am pretty sure that if Nightblood were able to actually touch the spren, it would just absorb the spren completely because spren are sapient bits of investiture and Nightblood consumes investiture. Just for future reference, put theories in the theory section or something, it just makes it less easy for people to stumble upon spoilers:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are great, but if you're familiar with Roshar, Nalthis is the perfect next stop! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Welcome! Both are great books, though I personally prefer Elantris. For some reason none of the POV characters in Warbreaker really clicked for me. In case you like ebooks, Warbreaker and its early drafts are (legally) available for free on Brandon's website. https://www.brandonsanderson.com/standalones-cosmere/#WARBREAKER Edited January 18, 2023 by Robin Sedai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The cheeseman Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'll definitely read those once I've gotten to Dawnshard and the last two Mistborn era 1 books. Looking forward to seeing all the different types of Investiture! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash67 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Welcome!! Being in the Shard is a very fun time and I hope you enjoy it!

Life before Death, Radiant I’d agree with the above people, Warbreaker is a perfect next book AND it’s free, so you can’t do much better than that. After that I’d go Elantris then explore the rest of the Cosmere however you desire! You’ve joined the fandom at a great time.
